This is an update of the 2020 Jinggu White Tea Dragon Ball (out of stock), using raw material from the same region and following the same traditional process. Besides maximizing freshness, another significant difference between them is the shift in raw material from Dashu (big trees) to Gushu (ancient trees).
It is a delicious and mellow tea, very easy to prepare and pleasant to drink, with harmonious and pure flavors, and no bitterness nor astringency. It allows brewing to any preferred intensity without becoming bland or unpleasant.
Moreover, it can be diverting to compare this tea with its aged version 2014 Jinggu Gushu White Tea Dragon Ball side by side, allowing you to discover the magic of tea aging.
